Not having visited in a while, we 'd forgotten just how great this joint was. Herman, the original owner, sold his business way back in 1974; since then, the Shane family has maintained the name, traditions, and legendary comfort food. The place is nothing fancy but the wide ranging menu extends far beyond standard hot dog burger gyros fare. Herm 's is celebrated for their decadent Cardiac Sandwich (pastrami, fried salami pepper jack cheese). Other options include a breaded veal sandwich, rigatoni, fish tacos, eggplant parmesan, pizza puffs, chicken gyros, etc., etc. There are salads and other vegetarian items, and they serve beer, too. Most sandwiches run under $10 (sides are extra), and menu items currently top out at $14.75. At least for now, Herm 's is a safe harbor from inflation. I decided to be brave and order a turkey club. I 've rarely seen this sandwich on other hot dog joints ' menus, but Herm 's version was a solid fresh tasting hit with generous amounts of thin sliced turkey and crispy bacon. My Missus said her chicken kabob plate was better than the versions served at many Mediterranean restaurants. But what made the experience extra special for us was the guy behind the counter who adeptly juggled order taking, serving, food prep, and running the whole show in general with an abundance of friendliness. Craig must have a photographic memory, as he somehow manages to get multiple orders and special requests exactly right without writing anything down. He makes an effort to get to know his customers, too. Watching him work and interact with his back room staff and clearly enjoying his work was a pure delight.

very much fun at the place! I came over after we tried to go to a place on the street, who said it was open, that was not. it was pretty delicious. I had the corn-rib sandwich with pickles. my daughter had a club sandwich. they offered combos with fries and koleslaw, but I wasn't so hungry we had bottled water. there were many possibilities on the menu. I would go back there to try something else. we live almost 50 minutes away. You pay good work on the way from you to din.

Love this place! Food is good, owners are fantastic. I was so sad to move out of the neighborhood, but always stop there when in the area. I am a big fan of the beef's, steak sandwich on garlic bread and fries are always delicious. But with that being said, I have liked everything I have tried there.

what can I say about this place, eating is great. the employees are about ingenious, love to detail. Eating is better than others in the area of skokie and evanston.
